No party has a patent on socialism or the blessing of HISTORY

" The freedom of expression can only be defended through a break with the establishment parties and the building of a working-class movement for socialism. "

I agree with your recent comment on the WSWS . But this web site and the " progressive " Left in general are themselves more and more contemptuous of the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization.

After being smeared by an SEP zealot as the " resident Catholic , anti-Semite , fascist " I was banned more than a year ago from the World Socialist Web Site . It was coldly silent when I asked them to substantiate the smear. They do remind me of the notorious Church of Scientology and their brainwashed legion of " Clears ".

It is quite hypocritical for their permanent GREAT LEADER David North- their Great Oz- to lecture the New York Times about the FREE SPEECH values dear to all progressives, of course.

I AM an independent democratic socialist. " THE MASSES " will never discover these sectarian Marxist parties each one imagining itself THE VANGUARD of a coming socialist revolution.

Since the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 HISTORY has made a mockery of all self-appointed socialist vanguard parties.

No party has a patent on SOCIALISM or the blessing of HISTORY . With the highest morals of common humanity we all still grope in the dark .
